The problem TruEducation addresses
|
For Parents:
With the ever increasing cost of college and the rapidly changing nature of the type of professions becoming available in the workplace, many parents are highly focused on giving their child a better understanding of the potential career fields out there and ensuring that their college choice and major is aligned with the professions their child is interested in. |
For Students:
Trying to find out how your interests and abilities line up with the need to find a rewarding and enjoyable career is a daunting task. Watching career videos and taking career interest surveys only gets you so far. To really understand what a career and its daily work is like, students want to meet with someone a little order than them in that career field of interest and speak with them directly in a comfortable and informal environment. |
The solution TruEducation provides
Our solution is to get 3-7 students to meet face to face in a small group with 1-2 young executives from a certain industry passionate about sharing their career stories. They meet at a local co-working space in a supportive, open and safe environment where students feel comfortable sharing their questions and concerns with an executive vetted and trained by Apriton Educational Advisors. Over a one to one and half hour meeting, the students hear from the executive about their job, the work they do on a daily basis, what their pathway was into that career and and what they like and don't like about their jobs.
How the TruEducation program works
Students will meet on 7 occasions on a Sunday evening from 4.30 pm to 6pm.
